Addressing reports of IAF strike in Syria, Russia says it is ‘concerned about unprovoked attacks.’ Hezbollah urges international condemnation of ‘aggressive, criminal’ Israel
Ynet
Russia said on Thursday it was very concerned about reports of an Israeli attack in Syria and that any such action, if confirmed, would amount to unacceptable military interference in the war-ravaged country.
The remarks were issued as Hezbollah called on the international community to condemn the alleged strike.
“If this information is confirmed, then we are dealing with unprovoked attacks on targets on the territory of a sovereign country, which blatantly violates the UN Charter and is unacceptable, no matter the motives to justify it,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Sources told Reuters on Wednesday that Israeli warplanes had bombed a convoy near Syria’s border with Lebanon, apparently targeting weapons destined for Hezbollah in what some called a warning to Damascus not to arm Israel’s Lebanese enemy.
Syrian state television accused Israel of bombing a military research center at Jamraya, between Damascus and the nearby border. Syrian rebels disputed that, saying their forces had attacked the site.
Russia has been trying to shield Syrian President Bashar Assad from international pressure to end the civil war against opposition forces that has ravaged the country over 22 months and killed an estimated 60,000 people. Moscow has repeatedly spoken against any foreign interference in Syria, especially military action.
‘Attack typical of Israel’s criminal ways’
Meanwhile, the Hezbollah terror organization released a statement condemning the “Israeli attacks on the scientific research center in Syria.” The statement said that “the attack is in line with Israel’s aggressive and criminal ways and was made in accordance to a policy which attempts to prevent any Arab or Muslim force to develop its military and technological capabilities.”
In its statement the Shiite terror organization claimed that “the attack exposes the background to what has been going on in Syria for years, and the criminal intention to destroy Syria and its army, and undermine its central role on the resistance front.”
Area of strike, according to Syrian army statement
It also said: “The attack requires wide-scale condemnation from the international community and the Arab and Muslim states.”
Nevertheless, it also claimed that “we are accustomed to the international community swallowing its tongue and remaining silent, not condemning or taking a stand when Israel is the aggressor.”
Hassan Nasrallah’s organization also expressed solidarity with the Syrian people, the Syrian leadership and the Syrian army.
They said, in an implied message to the rebel forces, that “some elements should be aware of the severity of the attack against Syria.”
“This aggression should lead to a re-examination of their stance and to adopt political dialogue as the only basis to a solution meant to end the shedding of Syrian blood, in order to keep Syria and protect its role in the fight against the enemies.”

If Israel can bomb weapons in another country, why can’t Russia bomb Israel’s hundreds of illegal nuclear missles in Dimona ?

It would be nice if Hezbollah and Russia decided to bomb Dimona, but maybe before the temple is finished being built? We don’t want any more cries of anti-Semite than we have to hear, right? Certainly, we don’t want to appear as if their claims are valid (because they aren’t).

John long before the nazis attacked russia , russia was attacked by jews and masons from the United States and Europe and between 1917 and 1990, between 66 and 147 million people in the lands of the old russian empire and eastern europe were genocided by jews and freemasons under the banner of communism and were supported by governments and banks in the west. Even if the the death toll was half as much there is still overwelming justification to wipe out the jews and those that stand with them.
Democracy, communism, freemasonry and jews are all about mass robbery, mass slavery, mass murder , the corruption of morals and overthrowing christianity. Watch the youtube video called. In the shadow of Hermes to learn more. The leaders of the western world will get their people killed over some BS political and false religious agenda.

The Jews have killed millions and millions of people all over the world. They are responsible for all these uprisings, revolutions and wars. As long as the Jews exist on this planet there will be bloodshed, wars, famine and all kinds of disasters. Be prepared for WWIII.

I think you’re right, Isaac.
There are (possibly) two options that might prevent WWIII at this time.
The first is for Obama/ the USA to stay the heck out of it. Without our miltary backing, I really don’t see Israhell continuing this insane manner. They are crazy maniacs, but are not suicidal, sadly.
Or, Syria, Iran, Lebanon, Russia– and anyone else who might jump in on the side of right, can do nothing but complain (and get nothing for it). That would stave-off WWIII for a bit, but will also let Nutty-yahoo and all of those maniacs believe the’ve been given carte-blanche to bomb anyone, at any time, wih no reprocussions. I mean, just look at what they do to occupied Palestine, and nobody helps (except for a few Egyptians, and not at the behest of the Egyptian govt, either.)
I think the best thing is for the US to stay out of this, completely. Bring our military home, at least; at best, bring all Americans (including CIA Al-CIA-duh, all “non-military” who protect the settlers and create more problems for Palestine) HOME, and stay out of it.
Let the Mid-East fix the Mid-East’s biggest little problem, and don’t contribute to it.
But, I don’t see Obama doing that/ And, so, I only see this as being put-off and not prevented for very long. It’s looking more inevitable with each passing week.

The aerial strike is Zionist regime’s latest attempt to drag US and NATO into a new Western war for Israel. It played similar tricks in the past, such as, attacks on USS Liberty, USS Cole and 9/11 to name a few. The Zionist regime knows that the US government along with several European powers (Germany, France and Britain) are controlled by the Zionist Jews – therefore, if Syria retaliated – Israel would cry “Wolf, wolf, wolf (being victim of its Muslim neighbors)”, as usual.
The aerial strike is also meant to pick a new fight with Lebanese resistance group Hizballah – in order to provide a possible moral boost to Jewish army which is still licking its wounds it received during its fight with Hizballah in Summer 2006.

My advice to the Russian Federation in regards to Israeli aggression, pop a few Nukes and be none with it. It is a fact of life, Pushers get Pushed . No more pushing from the U.S. and Israel . Time for the Russian Federation and its allies to start pushing back, and HARD .

Pretty sure that Hezbollah has had legitimate political party status for some time and is no longer listed as a terrorist organisation. Mossad and IDF are as much peddlers of terror as any of the others.
